Steep Noonu Atoll reef dive with overhangs
Steep Noonu Atoll reef dive with overhangs
Kaalhu Maizaan is a steep Noonu Atoll reef dive with small overhangs, purple whip corals, gorgonians, and black coral on the bottom. It sits inside a resort boat-diving program, so it works as a planned reef day rather than a casual shore stop. Divers who like a controlled reef slope, time to inspect structure, and steady marine life will get the most from it, especially when the water is calm enough to keep the reef profile easy to read.

Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited here for the same reason; the main interest sits on the reef, not at the surface.
